In the province I learned to sleep very early and wake up at 4 am. It was so quiet except the sound of nocturnal creatures like the Gecko. It appears occasionally at night with that tuk ko, tuk ko sound.
Lots of people regard the Gecko as a guardian of the home. It is said to protect the house and the family who live there.
There is this tradition to keep all the lights on at night from the sala to the kitchen down to the comfort room until the dead’s 40th day. I learned to sleep with the blazing light in the bedroom.

The tradition of having a Gecko in the home, is fascinating for me Arlene …

One good thing about Geckos being around the house is that they eat insects. I don’t think I could sleep with a main light on though.
Best wishes, Pete.

Got used with the light on Pete. Got used to the song that the geckos make if you can call it that.

I only experienced geckos when I was working in Guam. I loved them once I got used to the company of little lizards on my windows.
